I have been drinking nothing but Mountain Dew since quarantine. I know this is bad for my health but I only just learned what it does specifically to the brain. How damaged am I and is it reversible (mostly worried about the brain) if serious?

Neuroplasticity works wonders, baby. You can make a full recovery, but it needs to be cold turkey, moderation is not an option. To speed up your progress, exercise consistently as much as possible (preferably cardio) and keep diet fairly strict.

There's not a cooking board on here but this falls under the category of "health."
So here is my situation. I'm currently battling depression and living with ADD. I'm getting therapy and medication to help me through it. That's not the point as to why I'm here though. I'm aware that an unhealthy diet can be a substantial contributor to depression and a healthy diet can ease ADD symptoms. My goal is to only eat food that I make myself. I'm 24 years old and live by myself with very limited kitchen space. I'm working with my budget and slowly building up my cooking utilities. I am no stranger to Google and I'm going to continue searching for myself, but it doesn't hurt to ask for help.

I'm looking for a resource or guide that can help a 24 year old man eat and cook healthy. Starting out simple enough, I'm sticking to whole grains only, I always keep a dozen eggs in my refrigerator, I buy unsalted butter and don't use margarine or any other synthetic butter substitute, I'm sticking with lean red meat at the moment as I get comfortable with cooking more foods, and only 100% juice, whole milk (should probably switch to 2%), and water (occasionally Snapple) fill my fridge for drinks, and I seldom buy junk like Doritos as I prefer to snack on things like fruits and raw veggies. I feel like this is a decent start, but I do want a guide that can actually help me stay on track and also give me ideas on switching things up.

TL:DR I'm a young man trying to eat healthy and cook for myself. got any advice?

Here's Mavis because I love this movie.

So I didn't read most of your post, but if you want to eat healthy look into simple recipes for cooking meat dishes. If you want really simple then you can roast a chicken in the oven, and put potato slices underneath it while it's cooking. Then make a salad or something.

So... update for you all. Had to abandon last months attempt, had a family member rush to hospital so it became a no-priority. Looks like they're out of the woods now so we're going to give this another go. Won't be doing daily updates though and if I have to abandon then carry on without.

As always, you fit/fags/are welcome to join in.

mental illness and fitness

firstly
• there is no such thing as mental illness
( it's a simple form of ground level witchcraft. no more than a parlour trick.)

if you've been diagnosed with mental health issues.

daily you will be visited by 'maintenance crews' which will enforce your mental illness symptoms.

these are dispellable by learning
witchcraft ( making scrolls in blood and learning a witchcraft language.) which has
the same effect as the witchcraft parlour trick that the mental health authorities use. conjouring demonic forces. but this time to fight for you as you're the one who conjured them. should be significantly more powerful than mental health authority witchcraft it is the cheapest trick there is, stays cheap because it is a business with no investment and all profit as it's business model.

I would also recommend house plants, and multi colored lighting. Also, get off the drugs.
Currently try walking outside and doing some push ups, squats and maybe pull ups/chin ups twice a day, working my way up to 5x a day. Helps a shit ton.
I also have a Himalayan salt lamp, crystals, stones, an essential oil vaporizer, and giant granite stone sitting in my room... I was desperate.
This all started by drug use, and accidentally "coming out" (not gay but accidentally implied it) while on MDMA to my druggie close friend, because I couldn't feel it/sense the implication and there was a cute sensual girl from earlier I, once again, accidentally mimicked somewhat. I didn't think I was doing anything, but he did, and I was on MDMA so I thought "Huh, maybe I did." Led to crazy shit despite later denying his come-ons, since the answer to that question is always, positively, negative, yet for some reason the question kept being asked. This led to "mental illness". Amazing how forcing a false identity can fuck you up.

Anyway I got a pink grow light for my house plants, a yellow/orangy pink salt lamp, a multi colored (right now green) essential oil vaporizer, and a red bulb in a lamp, with a normal bulb in my closet on.

Reading some occult stuff, beginning mathematics (of which I was very active in high school), beginning programming (always wanted to do this, along with the hardware side), politics (keeping track of this presidency, and international stuff, and have a book Tragedy & Hope about the background to the current power structures), and drinking plenty of tea and coffee. Also, I do not eat junk shit and take plenty of vitamins and minerals, and will make myself some food instead, because junk makes me feel like absolute shit just thinking about it.

Eating 3x a day and drinking water/tea/vitamin water throughout the day regulates whack cycles. Focusing your mind on other shit, including aesthetic things, especially the aesthetics of emotions and people (to improve your opinion and connection to humanity, and improve your relationship to the human that you are), as well as an intellectual pursuit, and an artistic pursuit (I need to get into piano), shall do wonders.

Habit is king. If you have a routine that squeezes out the shit, rather than one that lets you steep in it like shit tea, you will always bounce back and be awesome.
I got a 3 hr/cycle system, and I keep track of what I've done on my list and what I haven't. This is a daily, unchanging, immutable list and the most important shit is on the top of the list for my well being... the order only changes with a very good reason. Once I can do the 16 items on my list every 3 hours, ~5x a day, I will have mastered a valuable skill.

Not anyone can do iron cross.
You must be short guy with the right genetics to do it and at the right age, around 16- 18 years old to start training for it. Otherwise you will get yourself so badly injured that even with multiple surgeries they might not fix you.
No matter what a fish can do it will never learn to fly.

The Ketogenic Diet 14/12/01(Mon)08:42 No. 16691 [Reply] [Last 50 posts]

File 14174197602.jpg - (41.30KB , 440x331 , ketone-diet.jpg )

Hey /fit/,
After reading up on the ketogenic diet, I've come up with a couple of questions and qualms about it.
I know a couple of you here are firm adherents to the keto diet, so can you explain these please?

1- The brain works on glucose, and will have no substitute. Your body metabolizes the fats into ketone bodies, which can cause ketoacidosis if unmonitored. This state of constant mild hypoglycemia, I'm sure, leads to defects in mental function (named the "keto-mind-fog"). This is not as unsignificant as websites would have you believe, such a mind-fog would be devastating for people whose jobs require high mental output.

2- A high-fat diet means chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL; bubbles of lipids and lipoproteins in your bloodstream, transporting the fuel to wherever it is needed. The problem is, a high LDL amount is linked and causative with vascular diseases like atherosclerosis. Conversely, a high HDL is linked with a reduction in such diseases. The function of HDL is to bring fats back to the liver to be metabolized during the fasting/hunger state. Does the (presumed) increase in HDL make up for the increase in LDL? Is it even safe to have so much lipids in the bloodstream to begin with? A high fat diet increases the expression of inflammatory mediators, which leads to all sorts of health problems, and also causes insulin resistance (the pivotal point of developing metabolic syndrome).

3- Besides supplements, you can only get a certain percentage of necessary micronutrients from a ketogenic diet, like minerals, folic acid, fat-burning phytochemicals like adiponectin. Also you consume a low amount of dietary fibre. Diets rich in fibre have been shown to reduce the risks of breast and colonic cancer. While red meat (especially the processed kind) has been shown to do the opposite. Is this trade-off for better physique/weight loss favorable?

4- Just making your portions smaller (calorie counting) combined with regular exercise should work with everyone (unless they have a medical condition - though I cannot think of any). Why should people try to adapt to such a drastic change in eating routine? It might be useful from a public health perspective to promote this in countries like the US where people drink sugary "soda"s to oblivion, but the Mediterranean diet provides a much better (though perhaps not as efficient) alternative in terms of overall nutrition. Wouldn't it be better to remove simple carbohydrates (like potato starch or simply sugar in the form of sweets, chocolate bars, etc.) from the diet in such countries?

Please don't get angry with me, I'm just trying to find out if there is something I've missed.

That's what the ketones are for. Your brain will run on about ~75% ketones, ~25% glucose from gluconeogenesis from amino acids.

Idk but losing weight would improve your hormone and cholesterol regardless which a keto diet would do.

>you can only get a certain percentage of necessary micronutrients from a ketogenic diet
>low amount of dietary fiber
False. You can still eat a ton of vegetables. Keto isn't defined by eating high fat, but rather by eating low carb. You still have plenty of options for (essentially) zero carb vegetables.

>Just making your portions smaller (calorie counting) combined with regular exercise should work with everyone
Yes.
>Why should people try to adapt to such a drastic change in eating routine?
Preference. Some people are better able to control their hunger/satiety.

sup /fit/,
I'd like to autoregulate my workouts as much as possible, but don't want to use RPE/RIR methods as I find them to be overly arbitrary and not very effective.

Ideally I'd like to find ways to autoregulate both intensity, repetitions and volume (as per sets volume). How would you do that?

I'm a novice-intermidiate and can train everyday.

auto regulation G 20/10/28(Wed)11:43 No. 36646

Working up to a heavy single is a great method but if you don't lift at that intensity often then your warm ups serve as a good indicator about your lifting ability for the day. Even as simple as a 50% of weight to be lifted for 4-6 reps then 75% predicted weight for 2 reps then 90% for 1. You can then use how those last 2 sets felt to dictate whether you will be lifting as predicted, lifting more or whether you will have to reduce volume for the day as you are feeling fatigued, not as strong etc. Always reduce volume but not intensity.

I guess this problem may be related to lack of hgh in your body. If you seriously consider the opportunity to change your body, maybe even increase power check the article https://hghfor-sale.com/how-to-mix-and-inject-hgh/ and decide is it necessary in your case.

You have mild gyno, start going to the gym and the chest fat should go away. Else, you might need surgery.
